Skills covered in this course
Description
This course delves into the potential hazards associated with various mechanical motions in machinery operations. Participants will gain an understanding of nip or pinch points, as well as specific motions such as rotating, reciprocating, transversing, cutting, punching, shearing, and bending. The focus is on identifying high-risk areas and components to promote a heightened awareness of potential injuries and incidents. Emphasis will be placed on creating and updating lists of hazardous motions for daily reference, fostering a safety-first mindset. Develop the ability to identify and understand the potential hazards associated with mechanical motions, including rotating, reciprocating, transversing, cutting, punching, shearing, and bending. Learn the importance of creating and regularly updating lists of hazardous motions and components specific to the machinery used in the workplace. Understand the significance of prominently displaying lists of hazardous motions near machinery to serve as daily reminders, ensuring a continuous focus on working safely.

Machine Guarding - Amputation Prevention: Hazardous Motions
Frequently Asked Questions
It examines rotating, reciprocating, transversing, cutting, punching, shearing and bending motions, along with nip and pinch points, as sources of machine-related injury.
A nip or pinch point is highlighted as a specific hazard where body parts can be caught between moving machine components, distinct from general moving-part hazards.
It has learners create and regularly update lists of hazardous motions and components specific to the machinery in their own workplace for daily reference.
Naming the exact motion involved, such as shearing versus rotating, sharpens awareness of the specific incident type each machine can cause, not just that a hazard exists.
It aims to foster a safety-first mindset by pairing motion identification with the habit of updating hazard lists as machinery or tasks change.
